Perspective...look for the details

Sometimes when things get too overwhelming, I prefer to look for the details. Life is taken easier in small bites at times.

Almost lost Rick this time. Ironically, it would've been one year and one day from his original surgery. Fortunately, we made it to the ER in time, and everyone was on their game. He bounced back fast, and was out of the hospital in 3 days--in on Thurs, out on Sun, and only one day intubated in CCU. HOPEFULLY we won't need to do this again, but we have another redefinition of our life, unfortunately, and more things to watch and watch out for. Blast. But, at least he is here and we can doing the watching together.

  15. I was literally holding my breath and twirling my hair as a read this; I'm SO glad it turned out ok. Hang in there, you two, and cherish all the moments of pleasure that life has to offer. And speaking of pleasure, that 2nd photo is an absolute treat. I made a point of reading your comment on my photo in Como Park today to Doug; I'm planting the seeds now for a winter trip to Como Park :)
